terrible recordings

hey,

this is quite a bit to ask for but my mate paul is a drummer and we are recording we use the cheapest thing ever!! and there is nothing cheaper! we use a little mic then use Windows Movie Maker! ok and when he records his drums, it sounds like he banging trash cans! its tuned correctly and the mic is fine with my guitar but when it comes to drums it sounds like trash cans!!

is there any way i can get rid of that noise without spending money? cause we basically dont have a budget!

Cheers!

put the mic as far away from the drums as possible. You might consider placing it outside of the room

. That way you will get more lows in the recording, and hopefully a somewhat better sound.
Hope this helps
